A Texas Yarn.

Two boys were flying kites. One of
the lads, whose name was Yessup, when
about 400 yards of string had been
paid out, asked his father to write q
message and send it up the kite. The
old man sat down and wrote this:
''Send some rain. Yessup." The mes
sage climbed up the string. A bird
circl;ng high in the air winged its way
to the bit of paper, which it pecked
vioiously. An hour later the kite was
hauled in by the boy. The paper
was in tatters, the only part of the mes
sage remaining intact being this por-
ton of the signature, ayes" Two
hours later = sou'easter came up and
the rain fell in torrents. (Tex)

Mrs. Benn's Strange Presentiment.

Louisa Benn, the daughter of a
laborer in Wednesburg, England, made
up her mind to emigrate to Australia,
aud gained the consent of her parents.
just before she was to sail, however,
hcl mother dreamed that the ship which
was to carry her daughter struck rock
near the Australian coast and went
down with great loss of life. Sh e sue
ceeded in persuading Louisa from
going, but not until the girls baggage
had been placed on board the vessel and
every preparation made for her depart
ure. The ship went down, as Mrs.
Benn had imagined it would, and
among the lives lost We're those of sew
eral girls who were to have been
Louisa's companions.

it." Another case is that of Mr.. R. B. Kyle,
Tower Hill, Appomattox county, Va, who
writes, November, 1886: "Was afflicted for
several years with rheumatism and grew
worse all the time. Eminent physicians
gave no relief; had spasms, and was not ex-
pected to live: was rubbed all over with St.
Jacobs Oil. The first application relieved,
the second removed the pain, continued use
cured me; no relapse in five years, and do as
much work as ever" These are proofs of the
perfection of the remedy, and, taken in con-
nection with the miracles performed in other
cases, it has no equal.

Mr.. GLADsToNE's speech in the
British House of Commons last Tues
day evening, on the Irish criminal law
amendment bill, was one of the great
est of that gentleman's latter day eff
forts. 1t is said to have possessed all
the fire that characterized the earlier eff.
forts, combined with the maturer
thought of his later years. He scored
Balfour numerically for attempting to
justify the proposals on the ground
that crime in Ireland during the last
three years had increased. 1.-The
statistics of crime in Ireland are against
the Government" said Mr.. Gladstone.
'Take the instance given of threaten
ing letters. In 1882. 1872 such letters
were received. In 1885 but 76 were re.
ceived. That hardly furnished ground
for asking parliament to assent to the
extreme measure of coercion. Other
classes of crime amounted in 1885 to 512,
and in 1885 to 517. This increase is de-
scribed as the main reason for the ex-
IRENE demands Of the Governments

lions by figures. 1t is believed that

AN ATTEMPTED DENIAL.

The statement which appeared in a
recent issue of The IRISH STANDARD,
and other Irish Nationalist papers, to
the effect that Canada's Governor
General, the Marquis of Landsdowne,
who owns large estates near Dublin,
was unnecessarily harsh to his tenants,
is the subject of much comment at the
Dominion capital. An attempt has
been made to deny the statement, but
the facts in the case have been sub
stantiated by responsible officials in the
city of Dublin. Most assuredly the
noble Marquis would like to pose as a
monument OF benevolence in the eyes of
the people of Canada, where despotism
of the description he has practised in
Ireland would not be tolerated for a
moment. We have never heard that the
Governor General of the Dominion was
any better than the law allowed under
any conditions or circumstances.

A PATRIOTIC APPEAL.

The Rev. Mr.. Kerr, of Cork, is a
Presbyterian clergyman, and a gentle
man who is doing noble service in the
cause of self government for Ireland. A
recent issue of the new weekly paper,
s'North and South,' contains an excel
lently written and patriotic appeal to
the Presbvterians of Ulster, from Mr..
Kerr's pen. The reverend gentleman
earnestly exhorts his brethren in the
North to throw in their lot with their
fellow-countrymen, and ceasing to be
mere colonists, boldly acknowledge as
their own the country of their adoption.
Mr.. Kerr concludes his letter with the
following paragraph:
Before l close, I ask again, what

to the bitter end. Well, when the end
cones, and it is not far off, what then
